Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday extended her good wishes for health and fast recovery to Abhishek Banerjee, Trinamool Congress MP and nephew of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who met with an accident yesterday.

Trinamool Congress MP and the party's youth wing president Abhishek Banerjee's health condition improved on Wednesday, a day after he met with an accident on NH-2 near Singur, while returning to Kolkata from Murshidabad.

In a setback for West Bengal Congress chief Adhir Chowdhury at his "stronghold" Murshidabad district, several members of the zilla parishad there, which is controlled by his party, today joined Trinamool Congress.

The Congress' West Bengal unit president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Sunday claimed an understanding has been reached with the Left Front in all but seven constituencies for polls to the 294-seat assembly.
